Account Closed  here is a great route to go......

While most of my properties are in the Olympia area I still have one in Puyallup and get up that way pretty regularly.

When you start doing that on a regular basis (recommended every 30 days), your scores will start rising.Then, you can truly make good real estate deals--from a position of credit strength--and save yourself a lot of money you would have paid out because of your poor credit rating.

With this route i could recoup all my investment in 5 years. 

@Mauricio Marroquin Exactly as others have said in that the best route to go would be to refinance with a conventional mortgage. 

I am still deciding what is the most cost effective route but I feel its hard to beat a chromebook for the money.

Good point @Charles Worth.Guess I was thinking about the 5 years and additional points etc.His rentals are SFR so think he will have sticker shock when going the commercial route plus needing an LLC.

That's why we sign contracts. 2)  IKR,  I was surprised this buyer (Who I deal with regularly) was balking at the 4.5k Assignment fee (which was disclosed upfront).  

But right out of the gate as a newbie, I feel like it's the easiest route for my given circumstances.I would rather have 4 GREAT deals than mediocre deals that I don't have enough equity to pull a decent portfolio loan from.

I guess you need a Property manager for approx 10% if yu are out of the country o a regular basis.
